The most complete tutorial on Mawhasi Geri on KZfaq. The idea of the fake jab followed by the kick is very useful for kumite. Thank you so much.

This karateka is the real deal, people should truly learn from him!!! Great work

It is amazing that I can still learn something "new" (to me!) about a kick I was taught years ago and have seen many VHS/DVDs on the subject. Thank you, *JG.*

Excellent tutorial on mawashi. Thank you for sharing 🙏

These longer form videos have been great Sensei! REALLY helpful, thank you! 🙏🏽

Sweet kicks, great explanation of training and strategy for use. Class as always!

It's practical. Thank you for sharing. ❤

That’s a mad Mawashi Geri (Round House kick. Great explanation, demonstration, control & power. 🤜🤛

Love this tutorial

Excellent Shotokan Mawashi tutorial 5 stars 🌟

Great video, good tecnics.

Thank you Sensei!

William Afton just stopped his attacks to turn into a karate master

Good lesson Sensei. I am learning Ninpo and am finding these kickts difficult to master. This will help a great deal. Arigato.

Beatiful

Superb training. Absolutely what I needed because I'm working on my sidekicks I practice Tang Soo do. This was a great training. I will implement these. Thank you so much brother

Great exercise, and a good idea to break down complex movements into smaller parts. I have trained Karate, Taekwon-Do, Kickboxing and Muay Thai, and while kicks were executed differently in each sport, all beginners did the same mistake of trying to kick flat-footed.

Doing Karate since 20 years for now, loved Mawashi Geri since the beginning and I'm pretty good at this. Even for me this helped me improved it a little more. Thanks to you!

Excellent thank you wish I was showen those years ago ❤❤

Very good tutorial and covers all the mistakes that I commonly see. I like the chair exercise.

Very knowledgeable man.

That first kick is incredible

You became my Virtual Master sir. Oss to you Master

Excellent

Very nice ❤❤

Been doing karate for many years. Had to come up with correct techniques through thorough investigation and trial and errors. This guy is very good. I like it. Beautiful form and function!

Good instructor

Exercise 2 looks interesting, never heard of this. This might help me. So thanks

Clearing powerful kick

Ensinamento com bastantes detalhes! Grato por isso Sensei.

Thank you sir

Thanks for the foot information ☺️

Super useful, there's a lot to work on here.

This is great,The good thing you are teaching here is lifting the knee vertical similar to what bill wallace used to do this way you do not know what kick is coming mawashi yoko or ura mawashi done in the traditional way it is easily telegraphed.Look forward to seeing more.

John, really made a great change to see a Black Belt master demonstrating Shotokan technique as well as you can. My style was Tae Kwon Do which I studied for five years in the RAF back in the 1970s by a South Korean Major who fought in Vietnam with the Americans. I cannot recall since watching KZfaq when it started, in seeing anyone on here demonstrating a round-house kick with your power, speed, technique (a word my master drilled into me) and conviction as my master Rhee Ki-ha taught me and my RAF pals. I truly hope the many so-called Black Belts that we now have running martial art clubs and who put their selves on here, with the belief they are good enough to teach, get to watch you, because they need to know what true martial arts mastery actually is.

great video and helps me a lot during practice. Would love to see a video like this for the back kick or spinning back kick. Also low kick tutorial would be helpful. Osu!

Amazing 👍👍thanks

Waka Sensei’s contribution to His father’s Karate. A true Japanese Keri Waza void of any Ryukuan influence.

Nice tutorial. I commend this

I’ve taught this method of roundhouse for 4 decades. Advanced people can make their kick drop slightly at the end of the arc for more power. The question mark kick will is easier to learn and sneaky, but it’s best to learn how to set up and land the bigger kick first. I always emphasize keeping the hands up for this. Ie, starting w hands at face level and pulling the rear hand past the hip for power, as this guy does, but also keeping the front hand up for defense, particularly against a counter wheel kick. This doesn’t sacrifice any power and also allows you to shoot your rear hand cross to the face from your chin. Ie, less telegraph.

押忍🥋日本人よりわかりやすい解説ありがとうございます😊 thank you

Great tutorial. We‘ll do this in the dojo next week.

Hello from Brazil> Excellent video, very good job.

Great guide. Thanks sensai

Oh ye! That's real hit and I like it😊

Nice turorial! Please, make a video about ura-mawashi geri because many people stuggle with problems doing this kick. Thanks.

Такой удар точно поставленный и очень тяжёлый Физическая форма атлета замечательно гармонирует с техникой Удар отработан идеально

Good stuff 👍👍

Nice video and interestingly I see a few points or differences between sport and traditional karate. From a sport perspective, I have no issues. In traditional karate, we only use the ball of the foot for this kick. The foot that stays on the ground does not turn all the way like shown here (I was taught the same in sport version of Wado Ryu style), but rather stops halfway there, so at the moment of the kick the back and front foot are facing the same direction, which ensures the maximum (ground-body-leg) connection and power. In Wado we also learned to bring the leg up (like with mae geri) and then twist and kick. In the traditional version, we don't lift the leg at the back and then do the turn, but rather lift straight from the side at a 45-degree angle, then continue until the knee points straight at the target at which point you release the foot, without losing the momentum. The point is you stay connected to the ground lightly while twisting the back foot and lifting the front leg, kicking with the whole body, and at the moment of impact your back foot is firmly on the ground (not on the side, or the edge, or the ball or the toes). Thank you for clarifying a doubt I had for years after switching from sport karate to traditional, why I remembered a slightly different body position towards the opponent when I used to kick with a flat foot (not a ball of the foot). It makes sense as the impact comes more from the leg swing than a kick!

Good video

Excellent explanation. As someone who trains in Muay Thai, I was interested to see how you generate power. Great to see the similarity in the importance of throwing that hip into the mix and going through the pad.

Right on! Huge fan of your KZfaq and Insta channel John! I'm a 34 white belt in Shorin Ryu! Can't wait to impress everyone at the dojo. Ossu!

Thank cause i always struggle with mawashi.

Nice technique

You can step into the roundhouse kick at an angle as well or is that not common in kyokushin? These are really good exercises for kicking. Thanks

I find many students get the power easily if you tell them to concentrate on pointing the heel towards your target. Greatly simplifies the explanation and much less for them to concentrate on. Everything else tends to just fall into place

We do the same in taekwondo, rotate the support foot, move the hip etc.. in the end we have 2 legs and arms. So same goals may end to same paths. Great video.

Very good , it would be great to see , inside mawashi to groin , and chin , or stomach , using feint of normal mawashi , then turn into inside mawashi , geri to groin etc , then use combination of even backfist combo , twisting techniques ,

Comparto muy Bien la explicación, pues se debe respetar y comprender la biomecánica de la cinética mio-articular, por lo que el pivote es MUY importante, GRACIAS

Excellent video! Absolutely loved the detailed explanation which I am absolutely certain would benefit anybody learning karate. I personally felt a bit sad for this wonderful video brought back memories of yester years when I used to practice Ashihara and I am so much off the mark now with the kicks which I used to practice so much. 🙁🙁 Nevertheless, Liked it and subscribed to your channel.

When the KZfaq algorithm works. Subbed. I need to work on my rotation as admittedly, my kicks aren’t the best they could be. Osu

bro...mad skills. I subscribed.

Fantastic 👍👀

Great video Masao Kawasoe sensei is amazing at kicking like you did looks like front kick but changes to roundhouse ,makes it look effortless

ottimo video dettagliato e tecnicamente perfetto

ty for the advice question if i dont have the equipment at home can i practice the kicks pls help am just a yellow belt

oushh 👊🙏

Great video again, especially the end was very helpful as i got teached to lift the knee sideways and never really understood why i dont lift it in front. Do you think its the best way to teach lifting the knee on the side for beginners? Because now i teack karate to kids and want to teach them better then i was

The power generation from foot pivot and lead arm lever, this is almost a carbon copy of Muay Thai roundhouse meant to give your opponent extended nap time. I wonder why they don't teach this in PTA Taekwondo. Oh, yeah... because we're a point-focused system prioritizing fast, snappy kicks to win tournaments. Sorry PTA, I forgot that I don't study martial arts to defend myself effectively, I do it to score points against other Jin. I'll just keep both my fists right on top of my saika tanden while kicking. I love what you guys taught me.
